Are you one of the millions of people who are still doing your day job directly from home? It’s a new paradigm that’s set to continue as organisations adopt a hybrid of working practices while they establish a ‘new normal’.
Working from home, for many people, will be unfamiliar territory complicated to some degree by a lack of space and family responsibilities, but there are some clear advantages too.
No more commutes
The average worker commutes to and from work five days a week, 45 weeks a year. Rail commuters face the longest journeys, taking an average of 2 hours and 11 minutes every day while drivers spend 52 minutes on the road travelling. Not many people will miss the stresses associated with commuting to and from work; instead, they can experience the pleasure of starting their day in a much more positive way which could open up new windows of opportunity.
Get your time back
Working from home (whether full-time or as part of a new or hybrid working practice) means you can reclaim unproductive time spent travelling to work, doing the school run, or commuting between meetings. You may also find that you can flex your working hours to more closely suit your personal circumstances: starting earlier, working in the evenings or spreading yourself over a much longer period of time. These changes in your schedule will expose pockets of time that you can use to invest in other parts of your life.
So how will you use the time you get back?
